Uchiha_Cycliste:snark aside, this is horrible. I've never once considered something like this happening to me, And I've been to raves before where there were 20,000-30,000 stuffed in on one dance floor (like at the Staples Center) on New years eve.

To be fair, places like the Staples Center are designed to not burn down and/or asphyxiate you in the event of an emergency.

BronyMedic:Can someone explain to me how this happens in a modern age? One would think after Beverly Hills and The Station Fire, people would have learned their damn lessons.

The Cocoanut Grove Fire - worst nightclub fire in history with 492 dead - happened just over 70 years ago, and people died for pretty much the same reasons - flammable materials (including in the air conditioning system, oddly enough) and not enough exits.

If your favorite band is a one-armed Mongolian who atonally throws discarded batteries against overstretched rubber cargo tie-downs while reciting "Mr. Belvedere" scripts with the punctuation removed and he only plays "pop-up" gigs in the kitchens of abandoned Arthur Treacher's franchises, you can be fairly sure your life will be panicked-trampling resistant.

Bra-farking-vo! That description brought a tear to my eye. Very well done, Mr. Coffee Nerves!
